Abstract
This report summarizes a study of 101 women who were newly diagnosed as HIV positive and controls to determine reasons for the behaviors that put them at risk for HIV infection. Poverty, partner risk behavior, and alcohol and drug use were among reasons for their behavior. Findings demonstrate the need for multiple approaches to reducing HIV infection among black women.
